Religious Minorities in the Middle East

From the America Abroad series: The Middle East is largely Muslim but it’s also the birthplace of Christianity, Judaism, and many other religions. Many non-Muslims have left in recent decades, leaving relatively small populations of non-Muslims and Muslim minority sects.

Now, the rise of Islamist political parties in the Mideast raises questions about the rights and protections such minorities can expect or whether they can expect them at all.

Go here for more information on this series.

Broadcast: Sunday, July 15. You can hear The Listening Room Sunday nights at 9:00 p.m., on WWNO, 89.9 FM.
